Chinese delivery firm is moving to embrace automation.
Orange robots at the company’s sorting stations are able to identify the destination of a package through a code-scan, virtually eliminating sorting mistakes.
Shentong’s army of robots can sort up to 200,000 packages a day, and are self-charging, meaning they are operational 24/7.
The company estimates its robotic sorting system is saving around 70-percent of the costs a human-based sorting line would require.
That is absolutely horror film frightening.
I just axed my Roomba!!!
That’s pretty awesome. It’s just a matter of time before most or all repetitive/production stuff becomes automated. It really shows how advanced and streamlined processes can be made.
